Firewall Types: Choosing Between Hardware and Software Solutions
DDoS cyberattack remains a highly dangerous online threats that targets companies as well as regular online users.

Understanding DDoS Attacks
A DDoS attack targets a network, website, or online service by overwhelming it with a massive amount of requests from infected systems in a botnet. This huge influx of fake requests results in unavailability, making it inaccessible to legitimate users.
Cybercriminals often use botnets to launch these attacks. The resulting damage can be high, including system outages, financial loss, damage to reputation, and exposed infrastructure.
Different Kinds of DDoS Attack
There are different forms of a DDoS attack, including:
• Volume-Based Attacks: Flood the bandwidth with massive traffic to overwhelm the entire network.
• Protocol Exploit Attacks Exploit weaknesses in network protocols to disrupt communication between systems.
• Application-Targeted Attacks: Attack online services directly such as login pages or search boxes to exhaust server resources.
Regardless of the method used, the goal remains the same — block service availability and create chaos.
